Galvet was born to a relatively well off family on Coruscant. Never really feeling the pressures of poverty or loss, he was able to spend his time learning technical skills and always enjoyed building toys and gadgets. His mother worked for a Senator and his father served as a commissioned officer in the Imperial Navy, so it was always assumed that he would work to support the Empire. While in school he learned to design and build weapons systems and starship parts, among other things, and quickly set to work serving the Imperial Navy as a young tech specialist. Despite his technical profession, he was also always obsessed by religion. For some reason he found himself drawn to studying what remained of texts about the Force and would often bury hidden messages and arcane symbols in his code or on items that he crafted.
When the Rebellion broke out, Galvet was horrified. First of all he had never even considered the possibility that the Empire might fall. That there was a chance that things could change shook his entire world view. It drove him to work harder and push himself to protect the only existence that he knew. Secondly, when he saw vids of the Rebellion, he recoiled even further. The thought that non-humans could occupy positions of power disgusted him. Thinking of aliens as little more than useful animals, he saw the Rebellion as debased and obscene to rub shoulders with them on an equal level. If that's what it took to win, he thought, they must be terribly desperate and probably insane.
The feeling that the Empire was losing after the Battle of Yavin made him angry. He started to review the Rebellion with hatred more than pity and that pushed him even harder into his work. For reasons unknown to him, his body started to suffer, the anger taking even greater toll on him than he would have expected, but he pushed himself even further into his studies, both occult and technical. Finally, after the Battle of Endor, he received a number of promotions as the remnants of the Empire and those loyal to the new Empress scrambled to fill important technical positions. Given his force sensitivity and his natural talent with gadgets, coupled with his love of the Empire and hatred of all things alien (both race and government) he was quickly brought into the Empress's circle and has worked diligently to keep her forces in fighting condition.
